I hope Dave & Rachel wouldn't get first place too often anymore. I like them but it would make the race boring, like what Andy & Tommy did. I want the prizes to be distributed widely as possible. So many teams will go home happy.

I have it in the correct order; the most recent leg is first reading from left to right and the least recent leg, in this case the first leg is at the right end. That column gets dropped when the next leg is placed on the left side.

I know , but they are better than 7 , their worst average so far.

If you could read Hebrew or Arabic then it wouldn't confuse you so much.

Their average after the first leg was 7.0000. After the second leg, they finished that leg is fifth place, bring their average to 6.0000. The last two legs, that team finished in seventh place both legs, so their average went up -- to 6.3333 after the third leg and now, to 6.5000 after the most recent leg. in order to show the basis for the trend I list the average after the most recent leg first, then the prior legs in reverse chronological order. Next week, the leg one average will be dropped and you won't see it listed. the fifth leg average will then be the column posted to the left of the others and the trend label will be adjusted as appropriate at that point.

Of course, I'll drop the team that is eliminated as who cares what their trend is? They're out!

The two teams eliminated since Eliott-Andrew's elimination 4 legs ago, were the lowest average placement team that week.

This season is remarkable for the overall consistency we've been seeing. This is half way through the Race, and I think it's a good bet that at least two of the final three teams will be two of the teams at the top at this point. That's happened a few other times (season 1, season 9) and it's one of those seasons where only two teams have won half the legs in the Race already.

It'll be interesting to see if we ever get a leg that really shakes things up. A lot of the legs this season have had a linear quality about them. A team might have a better leg one week and fall back, or have a poor leg, and then rebound, but the overall lack of shifting placements is really surprising.

What I really find interesting is that there are times when all the teams are grouped together, and even then the teams all seem to fall into the same basic order. I think the only ways there will be any real shake up is if a Road Block was a luck task or if the "better" teams got on a flight that arrived after the "not better" teams.

I can't help but to agree with this. Art and JJ and Dave and Rachel are really "good" and "competitive" racers as compared to the other "mediocre" teams this season.

Looking at four legs, yes, one might describe them as stable, but over the last three legs, it is a very slow rise. Last week, stable within a range was a more apt description. It's borderline either way. But there are only five teams left, so all of the averages are likely to slowly rise for the rest of the Race, if the teams keep the current order, as they have for a while.
